I've been having this problem for a few days. I can't open the game because the game says it's already open. I've tried everything possible and I don't know what to do

- Restarting my computer
- Removing all my mods

- Singing out of the EA app + closing it entirely and logging back in
- Repairing the game on the EA app
- Deleting the cache files
- Turning off One Drive synching
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the game (twice!)
- Running both the EA app and the game as an administrator
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the EA app
I'm at my wits end here. At this point I'm starting to worry if I'll never be able to play again.
